BIO
Hank Sundown & The Roaring Cascades started out in March 2001 as The Cascadez.
After a few years og gigging and boozing we had the pleasure of contributing with two songs
for Mike Lynams "Friday Nite Rumble" samplers. We also had over 10 000 downloads from
our website. Songs like "Grandpa Stole My Baby" and "Backseat Boogie" were recorded on
a minidisc player in our rehearsal studio. The quality was questionable, but people seemed
to like our songs anyway!
After a few line up changes we released our first full length CD, "10 000 Miles To Memphis",
on the Rockaround label in 2006. A 1000 copies were made and they are almost sold out
now. We had a local radio hit with "Sweet Lorraine" (#1 for 5 weeks) and we also got some
national air play. The CD sold well in Sweden, Germany and England...and of course
Norway. We also sold CDs to Spain, France, Holland, Finland, Brazil and Japan. Sadly the
band decided to take a break shortly after the release and we didn´t get to capitalize on the
"success".
In 2009 we got together and started rehearsing again and in January the band´s second
CD, "Rock & Roll Supreme!" was released on Rockaround Records! We have changed the
name of the band, but the songs are the same (well, except for a few new ones of course).
2010have been a busy year with gigs in Norway, Sweden, Germany and Holland. And in
2011 we hope to release out thrid CD!
